THE BIG PIC­TURE

There’s some­thing as­ton­ishly beau­ti­ful about the beach at Cove­hithe. This par­tic­u­larly vul­ner­a­ble stretch of the Suf­folk coast is erod­ing fast, in evo­lu­tion­ary terms at least, and the sculp­tural trees give it a poignancy all its own, as if they’re hang­ing on for dear life, a last re­minder of a time when they stood in terra firma.
